Several months ago I was very confident, proud, and strong in my Christian faith. Then out of the blue, one day I randomly began to feel a distaste towards Christianity. That night, I had a horrifying dream in which I was attempting to expel a demon from my home. As soon as I began to ‘win’ this battle, I was awoken by a terribly real sounding voice screaming “you shall not rebuke me!!!”

For about a month or two after that, I struggled with my faith, and at one point, lost it virtually completely. Things went back to normal as far as ‘paranormal’ acts. Just recently, I have realized my mistakes, and have turned back to Christ. Since then, coins have been appearing in random, inconvenient locations (supposedly a way the dead try to communicate with the living) and loud bangs have been occurring spontaneously, specifically from my basement.

Simply typing this is terrifying for me, as I feel that I am being watched.

Please help?
 
I’m no expert but I would suggest you pray. In the name of Jesus, I bind you Spirit that’s not of the Holy Spirit and send you to the foot of the cross to be judged by our Lord. Perhaps if you have a crucifix or holy water to make the sign of the cross and ask for our Lord’s most powerful armor against the Devil. If you feel in danger I would also recommend leaving the house and staying with a friend or relative. Have you informed your priest about this? You need to get the house blessed immediately. Do not listen to the evil one’s lies. May the Precious blood of Jesus wash over you and protect you. I will pray for you friend. Godspeed!
 
Remember always that you aren’t alone in this fight. Remember your Guardian Angel! Dispatch him to defend you, that is his duty. Pray for the strength of Michael the Archangel to be at your side always. Holy water is a very important tool, I might add. Teresa of Avila was a prolific propagator of the uses and strength of holy water. In the Rite of Exorcism, a Priest recites the Litany of Saints. I suggest that now, in your time of need, you invoke their intercession as well. Call upon the Blessed Virgin, for isn’t it she who stamped the snake with her foot?

As they are an immediate threat, I suggest you pray very hard and efficasiously to be delivered from evil. Renounce Satan and command him to flee.

The legions of Hell are no match for the forces of Good. They are dispersed by a drop of holy water! Do not fear them any longer. Remember constantly that this battle has already been won. On Calvary. The Devil’s work is all in vain if you remember Christ’s victory on the Cross.

You have an arsenal of weapons and an armoury of defenses. Use them! Utilize them!

And if all that wasn’t enough, take solace in that my nights prayers will be for you and for your liberation tonight. 👍

Have frequent recourse to the Sacraments as much as possible. Pray the Rosary. Get some Holy Water and bless Your house or room with it. Do not fear, if there is something there, they will feed off of fear and negative feelings.
 
It sounds like demonic oppression. I will pray for you. Stay close to Jesus.
 
Stay strong Tyler…call on St. Michael, Rapheal, Gabriel and your GA. Things have been stepping up it seems. There is a lot going on in the world right now and the spiritual is active as well.

Before typing this, I had a quick look at your public profile. It appears you are a teenage freshman living a surburban life in Connecticut. I assume you’re therefore in the family home.

Does anybody in the family else hear these things? I wouldn’t expect them to hear the voice, or have the dream / nightmare, but they should be able to see the same coins, and maybe hear the loud bangs in the basement.

I also notice you’re moving towards the Catholic Church from the Protestant. I suppose that may have an influence.

But it would be helpful to find out if the rest of the family are having some of the same experiences.

Incidentally I’m not being cynical. I’ve had demonic experiences of my own, but the phenomena are purely personal - gripping pressures in the middle of the night, tingles etc. There are no loud noises, or things turning up in strange places.

My dad was able to hear the bangs, others were not. My dad seems to also be a target of the coins, as they have been appearing in inconvenient locations for him as well. Last night the bangs were really loud, and thinking someone may have been breaking into the basement, we went to investigate, ultimately seeing that nothing was disturbed.
Last night while sleeping I kept waking up startled after feeling like someone was touching me on the shoulder or even massaging my shoulder.
As far as I know, I am the only one who has heard any voices.

Code: 
 We all have to make a Choice and it is the most important Choice everyone makes in their life.  Apparently you have made the Right Choice.  Praise God!  I am certain God is happy with your Choice, and the devil is not.  So, the devil is  coming against you.  He is a shadow in the Light of God.  He hides.

  The coins they mean nothing of the sort:  (supposedly a way the dead try to communicate with the living) .  That is plainly superstition, a tool of the devil and a means of diverting your attention from the Peace and abundant Life  God  wants you to have.  You have to divest yourself of these things.   You have to renounce these things.

  The bangs, how many people hear them?  Listen to this  video:
Sacramentals: The Armor of God
Code: 
  You can test and see if prayer stops the banging.   Pray when you hear this but forget about it.  Think of it as a call to prayer when you hear the banging or feel like somebody is watching.  Remember  God is with you.

Almighty and ever living God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
our beloved Holy Trinity and Faithful Shield, we bow before
You in humility and in awe of Your sublime Power and infinite Love for us.

We recognize and acknowledge the war waged around all of us
each and every moment of every day between the Good that is You
and the evil that follows Satan.

We also recognize and acknowledge the powerful gift
of free will that You have bestowed upon us and we
choose now to exorcise that gift before You, before
Your Holy Court, and before all Creation right now.

Let our tiny voices, be amplified through the Power of
God and the exercise of our free will, resounding throughout all
of Heaven and Creation, announce that we have chosen a side in this
war and that side is with You, Lord God, our beloved Holy Trinity,
with our Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Let our body, soul and spirit be marked with our choice,
with the Seal of the Living God.

We thank You Father for allowing us this beautiful choice.
We know we are neither the first nor the last to choose
the side of life in this war, the largest war ever waged in
human history. There are many who labor in this war
as we know You have many Generals in Your army.
Specifically Lord we call to mind Your Clergy especially
Your Bishops & most of all your Vicar on earth, our beloved Holy Father,
our Pope Benedict XVI.

Lord, we ask that You bless all of your clergy,
those who have passed from this world, those who walk
in this world now, and those who are yet to come. We
ask that You cover them completely in the Blood of Christ
as well as all whom they come in contact with. Grant
each the Shield of the Holy Trinity and an army of courageous
and holy angelic soldiers assigned
to each of them, handpicked by You Lord for each of Your Clergymen
and his special purposes and needs, led by the Holy Spirit.

We beg You Lord to grant all Your Holy Clergy the Gifts
they need to hold their office and do Your Will.

Amen.

  I didn't see the Tyler's second post.  House Blessing at this point is a great idea.  It appears this attack is related to  Tyler coming back to Christ.  I copied this from Fr. Fortea's website.  Most of the time this goes away with prayer.  It is not always associated with esoteric occult rituals.  These many times are allowed as a trial that challenges family unity or to make the family unify & get closer to God.
Instructions from a Catholic Exorcist Priest on dealing with this type of phenomena
Here copied from Fr. Fortea’s website:

"Infestation is a phenomenon by which the devil possesses a place. Infestation of a house can take place when spiritism, satanic rites, Santeria (voodoo) or other forms of esoteric activities have been practiced continuously in that house.

When the devil possesses a place, he can move things at will or provoke noises or odors. These are the famous cases known as poltergeist. These phenomena are not produced by unknown spirits, but rather by demons. This can be proven by the fact that with prayer all cases of poltergeist disappear.

We must tranquilize the inhabitants of these places, telling them that an infestation never provokes the possession of any of the persons living there.

In these cases the priest can pray once in the house and then encourage the family to join daily to pray together. They can pray the rosary, read the Bible jointly, sprinkle holy water in the rooms, join before a sacred image and pray for protection, etc.And of course to ask Santn Michal to expel that bad spirit…

In the cases of infestation, the families usually ask the priest to do everything. However, the priest must make the people understand that they themselves can do what they ask the priest to do. The united prayer of a family can perfectly break the power of the devil over that place if they persevere praying together during weeks or months. If after this period, the phenomena persist, then they should recur to the priest."
 
Commend yourself to our lady. The devil is always scared of her and when you’re under her protection, he wont be able to go anywhere near you.

Since there are two of you who have experienced the external effects of noise and coins - both you and your father - which means you have a witness, then it would appear to be demonic. I don’t know why - whether the house has a history, or the devil doesn’t like the idea of your joining the Catholic Church, but as others have said, maybe you need to get the house blessed.

I would not expect others to hear the voices, as that involves internal mental harassment, and you seem to be the primary target.

And it’s harassment, not punishment. They play some stupid games at times.
 
Houses which are possessed should surely be blessed by a priest. I asked a priest who is also an exorcist if it was really okay for lay people to bless their own houses; he told me it’s not and that only a priest or deacon bless things–that that’s one of the reasons they were ordained.

Also, just so you know demonic oppression is two steps away from possession–not possession itself–and there have been many cases in which demonic oppression has not led to demonic obsession or possession. St. Padre Pio for instance was oppressed by demons, but never had demonic obsession and was never possessed. (In his case, God allowed it as a test.)

Demonic obsession, in case you don’t know what it is, is explained in the following by Fr. Armoth, the Vatican exorcist:

“Diabolic obsession. Symptoms include sudden attacks, at times ongoing, of obsessive thoughts, sometimes even rationally absurd, but of such nature that the victim is unable to free himself. Therefore the obsessed person lives in a perpetual state of prostration, desperation, and attempts at suicide. Almost always obsession influences dreams. Some people will say that this is evidence of mental illness, requiring the services of a psychiatrist or a psychologist. The same could be said of all other forms of demonic phenomena. Some symptoms, however, are so inconsistent with known illnesses that they point with certainty to their evil origins. Only an expert and well-trained eye can identify the crucial differences.”

Also, I should have mentioned that if this is happening because of something you are doing that involves anything occult than it’s never going to completely stop until you give up EVERYTHING occult. This includes but is not limited to: use of Oaji boards and attempting to contact the dead in any way shape or form.
 
If you are obsessed by the devil, the best thing to do is to go to confession and communion. If you have not been doing the two of these, start now. There may be other things to do, but don’t neglect these.
I agree, you should have a priest bless your house.
If this does not work you should contact the headquarters of your diocese and see if the diocese has an official exorcist, then talk to the priest you refer you to. (Though unfortunately, some dioceses do not have an official exorcist.)
 
Here is some important info about the Miraculous Medal, one of Mother Teresa’s
favorites.

“Have a medal struck… All who wear it will receive GREAT graces; they should wear it
around the neck. GRACES will ABOUND for persons who wear it with CONFIDENCE.”
From the mother of Jesus spoken to sister Catherine Laboure 1830.
Later Mary said, “… it must be given to the whole world and to every person.”

“Great graces are often attached to what seems trifling.” St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

“The devotions we practice in honor of the glorious Virgin Mary, however trifling they be,
are very pleasing to her divine Son, …” St. Teresa of Jesus

During this apparition, Mary’s hands had 3 rings on each finger. Each ring gave off
rays of colored light. A few rings did not. Mary said that the lights radiating from
the rings are graces that people ASK for. The rings that didn’t radiate she said
were graces not given because they were NOT asked for.

Have it blessed. The devil hates blessed objects. Keep it on all all times.
Wear her medal in her honor because the devil can’t stand her either.

Then say, “Mary I am asking now for great graces which
you promised to those who ask and believe in what you said.”
Trust her, it works. She is the mother of God. Would she lie?
Your mother wants to help you. It is her wish for you. She promised and she will diliver.

“Great graces are often attached to what seems trifling.” St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

“Yes, blessed is she who BELIEVED that the PROMISE made her by the Lord would be FULFILLED.”
(Lk. 1;45) St. Elizabeth extolling Mary for her complete trust in God’s promise.

You are being watched at all times by at least a good spirit (your guardian angel). The demons are worried about you for some reason - it seems they think you have the capacity to do great things (against their wishes). At least they have played their hand and have exposed their position.

If you continue in this direction, expect more of this - but it’s not anything to fear. Just keep saying, “In the name of Jesus Christ, I command you to leave this house” or where ever you are.

I’ve been going down this road for a while, and my house has been covered in holy water and blessed salt. That helps, but it doesn’t eliminate the attacks. I have found, however, that they do not attack nearly like they did without the holy water and the blessed salt.

We are all unique - and that helps us in this fight. Demons can use thousands of years of experience with our ancestors to use only the tried and true ways to attack us. But, since you’re unique, they don’t exactly know how to take you down. They are guessing.

Prayer is awesome in the fight (provides great armor). Also, I have found daily Mass to help a great deal.

Congrats!! In your prayer, ask to be a great saint. The evil one thinks you might be headed that direction.
 
It would seem the stronger in faith I get the more I can see evil that evil can’t hurt you it feeds off of fear be of faith.
 
From Trent Catechism, Lord’s Prayer, Sixth Petetion, Deliver Us from Evil, Subheading,
Code: 
                     Malignity And Power Of The Demons
There are many who, because they do not feel the assaults of demons against them, imagine that the whole matter is fictitious; nor is it surprising that such persons are not attacked by demons, to whom they have voluntarily surrendered themselves. They possess neither piety nor charity, nor any virtue worthy of a Christian; hence they are entirely in the power of the devil, and there is no need of any temptation to overcome them, since their souls have already become his willing abode.

But those who have dedicated themselves to God, leading a heavenly life upon earth, are the chief objects of the assaults of Satan. Against them he harbours bitterest hatred, laying snares for them each moment. Sacred Scripture is full of examples of holy men who, in spite of their firmness and resolution, were perverted by his violence or fraud. Adam, David, Solomon and others, whom it would be tedious to enumerate, experienced the violent and crafty cunning of demons, which neither human prudence nor human strength can overcome.
 
I hadn’t realized before, when I read the post by someone saying you should recieve Communian, whichof course, it wouldn’t be right to do so right now (most likely you know this, but in great fear, people can forget pretty basic things some times) as you have never recieved Commanian before. (That’s one of the reasons you’re calling yourself an “onofficial Catholic,” right?) I’m still praying for you.
